• Tips for when your webcam is not detected

  EDIT: If you have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and experience this problem, please read this document.
  
  Here are some tips to solve a problem of webcam not detected.  I see this question get asked a lot so here are the steps you should take to resolve the problem.
  
  To start, you make sure that the device is detected by Windows.  The following instructions are for Windows 7, but should be very similar to Windows Vista and Windows 8.
  
  Option 1: Check Device Manager to make sure that it works correctly.

  1. Right-click the Start button, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
  2. Once charges Device Manager click 'View' then "Show Hidden devices."
  3. Locate the section "imaging devices".
  4. Note If you see the webcam here.
  5. If the webcam is listed, click it and check that it is not 'disabled '.
  6. If the webcam is listed and disabled, go to Option 2.  If the webcam is not listed, you will spend on Option 4.

  Option 2: Allow Windows to re - install the device.

  1. All remaining in the Device Manager, right click on your webcam and select "Uninstall".
  2. If you are prompted select "remove driver and driver package".
  3. Restart your laptop and allows Windows to attempt to reinstall the webcam.
  4. If Windows detects the webcam check the operation of the webcam.
  5. If Windows does not detect the webcam and install move to Option 3.

  Option 3: Manually install the drivers for your webcam.

  1. This site allows to determine your product/model number.
  2. Visit the Page of Support HP and use this product number to visit the specific page of your product.
  3. Go to "Drivers and software" and are looking for the driver for your webcam.  NOTE: the drivers for the webcam are sometimes provided with the YouCam software.
  4. Download and install this driver.
  5. Restart the PC.
  6. Check the features.

  Option 4: Manually re - detect the hardware.

  1. Disconnect all external devices.
  2. Shut down the laptop.
  3. Remove the battery and AC power.
  4. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
  5. Reinstall the battery and AC power.  Then turn on the laptop.
  6. Once Windows is loaded back to the Device Manager.
  7. Selection 'Action' and then 'search for material changes.
  8. If the Device Manager detects hardware let settle.
  9. If Device Manager does not detect the see material Option 5.

  Option 5: System Restore and system recovery.

  It is very well described in this document.  Note that all data not saved prior to a recovery will be lost.

  6 options: Repair or replacement.
  
  If none of these solutions worked for you, it is likely that you are experiencing a hardware failure.  It is possible to replace the webcam or reinstall a loose ribbon cable.  However, it is one of most difficult repairs on the laptop.  If you want to try this repair, you can visit your laptop support page and go to the section "manuals".  There is normally a "maintenance and Service Guide" for laptops, this will cover the disassembly of the laptop.  You can then use HP parts Surfer to locate the part for your laptop.

  If you do not want to attempt a repair yourself you can ask HP about a repair.  For customers in the United States / Canada, you can call 1-800-474-6836.  If you are not in this region, you need visit the HP Support Site to get contact information for your region.

  I hope that everyone considers this information useful!

• Satellite L500 - Microsoft webcam does not work on Windows 7

  I just bought a camera from microsoft as my other older version Trust webcam is not compatible with Windows 7. I would probably have no problems with a Microsoft webcam? Fake!

  Whereas before on Vista, my faithful trust webcam worked well on yahoo messenger, I find now that I can get my Webcam - file - Preferences - settings of the device, click device settings, but only shows the camera controls exposure. All other options on the camera controls are grayed out, including Zoom, I've always used on my Toshiba Vista laptop previous. Very frustrating!

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hi elstree.

  Why using an external webcam If your laptop is already equipped with a webcam? AFAIK all L500 models have such a built-in webcam.

  In my opinion, you should try the internal one. I m sure its functioning with your Messenger, I have also the webcam internal to Skype without any problem. :)

  In addition, you must contact Microsoft about this problem. It has nothing to do with Toshiba.

• Webcam is not detected on Presario CQ62 with Windows 7

  Hi, I'm new to the Forum so apologies in advanced if I made this topic in the wrong place.

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-423NR laptop PC, and I can't detect the webcam. I looked everywhere on the web and from what I have gathered, some Presario CQ62 models have no webcams and some do. Now, I'm about to think that my model does not have a webcam, but it seems as if there is a webcam at the top of the laptop unless someone can confirm that this isn't a webcam?

  in any case, I understood also that Windows 7 are compatible with the following programs for HP Laptops: YouCam and CV SmartMedia.
  Sources are here.
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01970581

  Which leaves me with the options to install one of the programs above, that I did and the two programs do not detect my webcam despite this webcam has been registered there.

  I tried to test on other programs of messaging like msn, Skype and so forth and the webcam is still not detected.

  I also made sure the programs I have installed are compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.

  I also trouble trying to find a driver for the webcam to this model as well, that makes me then back to the start, I have even a webcam? -___-

  So anyone who would throw some lights as to whether or not I have a webcam for this particular model or there is something I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for all the help!

  Hello

  Sorry, but your model have only the built-in microphone. There is no webcam.

• Microsoft Desktop Designer, not detected

  I bought the Microsoft Desktop, keyboard and Bluetooth mouse package designer.

  Despite the guidelines in the Microsoft Help options 1, 2 and 3 of the section has failed.

  I am convinced that it is a driver compatibility problem because the same steps failed on my Dell Latitude E7240, running Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit, as they did on my Asus EEEPc 1215 running windows 10.

  Both devices connect and work perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone Tablet and my Apple iPhone 6.

  I saw the lame answers in a lot of posts here, which none offer any explanation of why this product does not connect to Microsoft machines but works great on Microsoft products not?

  I can't remove my generic Bluetooth driver, he re - installs automatically when Windows restarts.

  Please advise a solution, or a refund of the cost of the product.

• Printer recognized use IE but not detectable on Win7 add a device

  I'm on a network with a Dell desktop, XP Pro and a computer laptop HP, Win 7 64 bit.  I have a 2510 all-in-One.  All three devices are directly connected to the Netgear wireless router.  I do NOT use of wireless at this time. (However I want to connect wireless in the future).  Both machines are running Firewall and McAfee antivirus.

  The XP machine recognizes the printer and prints without problem.  Using the machine Win7 and IE, I can access the printer using the IP (192.168.1.2).  However, when I try to connect the printer to help add a device option in the devices window and printers, the printer is not detectable.  I disabled the firewall, the same results.  If I connect to the Netgear, all three devices are listed as connected devices.

  Any ideas?

  The have you installed again by attaching a USB?  If not, I must inform the fact that the first.  Once you have installed printer and works by USB, then you can make some changes to make it print on the network.

• Satellite Pro L10 - wireless network card is not detected in Win7

  Hello

  I have a dual boot with XP and Win7 Pro.

  If I install the wireless driver from the download on XP site, no problem.

  I tried the same procedure using the download wireless driver on the partition Win7 using a) driver XP b) driver Vista & c) the Vista driver in compatibility mode. Nothing worked and it is even not a yellow exclamation in Device Manager, so the wireless card point don't has not recognized at all.

  Same problem with Ubuntu Linux.

  In XP, it is recognized as "INPROCOMM IPN2220 Wireless Lan Card".

  Any ideas?

  The entry in Device Manager is right and so must be included in Windows XP Home edition.
  This old model of laptop is not supported for Win7 and on the download section Toshiba WLAN I cant find driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 WIRELESS network card.
  Googling around, I see many people have the same problem on different models of old laptops.

  Have you tried to find the driver Googling autour?

• Webcam is not detected on my Satellite C660-217

  Hello

  New on the site looking for some assistance.
  I just bought a used laptop. It s a Toshiba Satellite C600-217

  I can t detect a webcam and supposedly he's built.
  I looked in the control panel Device Manager and hardware but there's nothing for a webcam.

  I am at a complete loss and would like to help please

  > I can't detect a webcam and supposedly it s were built.
  > I looked in control panel Device Manager and hardware but there's nothing for a webcam.

  Salvation in a BIOS version there is an additional option to activate the webcam.
  Please check the BIOS.

  If the BIOS provide no good option, in this case I assume that your webcam is down.
  If the webcam module would be OK, then you should see something in the Device Manager even if the software/driver is not installed.
  You know...
